JOCKEY
Mr Freddie Gingell (7) J Paul Nicholls, Ditcheat T Morson Group S TIMEFORM VIEW Useful operator in this sphere and would have made a winning return but for falling 2 out at Wincanton in March. Disappointing at Ascot since but likely to bounce back. TFRHHHHH BHA134
Br B g Fruits of Love (USA) - Native Beau (IRE) O Miss L. B. Gould H Mendip Farmers
Miss Megan Bevan (7) J Mrs Diane Ward, Shepton Mallet T
TIMEFORM VIEW Useful hurdler/chaser. Won 2-runner hunter chase at this course 2 weeks ago by 45 lengths from Smithscorner, easily. Hard to know exactly what that form is worth, but seemingly retains plenty of ability. TFRHHHHI BHA125

Mr David Maxwell J Philip Hobbs, Minehead T Fitzdares S TIMEFORM VIEW Useful chaser earlier in his career and, while still some way short of that form when third in a hunter at Leicester 75 days ago, it was a step in the right direction, so he merits consideration. TFRHHHHI BHA128
Br Ch g Indian River (FR) - Greatest Friend (IRE) O Mr Martin Sweetland H Taunton Vale Harriers
Mr Darren Andrews (5) J Martin Sweetland, Honiton T
TIMEFORM VIEW Fair chaser for Donal McCain but this is his first rules outing since 2018 and he was unplaced between the flags last time. TFRHHIII BHA94

Mr Otis Morgan (7) J Miss A. M. Bacon, Frome T
TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful jumper (won over hurdles here) and dual point winner more recently, including last time. This is a big ask on first Rules outing for more than 4 years, though. TFRHHIII BHA100

Mr Jake Bament (7) J G. Chambers, Buckfastleigh T
TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful chaser in Ireland at one point but he’s not the force of old and has returned to Rules with a couple of lacklustre efforts. TFRHHIII BHA110
